Spring Mantel Love

Hi everyone and happy Tuesday to you! Nice weather we are having here in Pa. in the 70’s, and I’m so enjoying it!I’d like to share with you my spring mantle and if you have been following me for a while you know my mantle and I have a love/hate relationship with each other! It’s a long mantel about 7ft so it’s hard sometimes to not fill it completely up with “stuff”! I am hoping that by painting the brick Cottage White it will somehow bring everything together. See the ceiling fan in the mirror? We just bought new ones to replace this one and the two out in the kitchen and other room off the kitchen, I so can’t wait to see them up! I was just going to paint them but Mr. K said let’s just buy them so I didn’t argue on that one ladies!I took this one after I added the eggs on the book!The blue eggs I bought a few years ago and the ones on the book are the ones I made.The pink dogwood branch is from DT and the bottle is from Marshall’s.

Very nice, Rondell. I think the brick will be beautiful painted white. I know a lot of people just about die when you say you are painting brick but I have painted it several times in my life and always been pleased with the results. Your mantle looks great! xo Diana

I LOVE your mantel!! The dark brick with the white...I love the contrast...then the pops of color...VERY well done!! I'll will be digging around your archives here in a moment...and can't wait to see what other goodies I will find! I'm your latest follower!SharonP.S. Stop by and visit sometime!

I love your mirror collection and the cute bunnies! Decorating my mantel is a challenge because it seems so tall and then our ceilings are high. Seems small things get lost on the mantel. I love seeing other people's ideas for inspiration.
